Zen Micro Now Playing / Playlist iss

Hey...
I Have the Zen Micro, but when I'm creating my playlists it's very frustrating that the when you select a song then the "Play" item is listed before the "Add to selected" it should be the other way around since I quite often hit the "Play" button and the playlist is overwritten - very annoying!
So are there a way to customize which items are listed first when you select a song?

Unfortunately no way to customise it.

ZEN MICRO "NOW PLAYING&qu

So after updating my firmware, everything works just like it used to on my ZEN micro EXCEPT my now playing window. The display just says "Select music to PLAY from the Music Library" without displaying the album, artist, or song title. Is there anyway to get this back? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

dancerdawn,
This may sound silly but have you gone into the Music Library and add those audio tracks you wanted to playback to the Now Playing section?
Another thing, if you update the player firmware from version .xx.xx to 2.xx.xx, the player will be formatted so you need to re-transfer your audio files to the player.

Getting My Creative Zen Micro to play on my P.

Hello,
I have a few questions about getting my Zen Micro to play in the 'Creative Source Organizer' that I installed with the software CD that came with it.
It playes fine in the 'Media Explorer', in which I use to upload and delete songs from my player, but it won't play at all in the 'Organizer'. The files show up, and the songs show they are playing, but no music comes from the speakers. I would rather use the organizer to play songs from my Zen Micro, and not the 'Media Explorer'. Is there anything I can do to get this to work? Every other file I try, be it a CD or MP3 from my hard dri've, works fine.
I am using Windows 98 as my operating system. I do hope this is not the reason why, but it is my guess that it is.
Thanks in advance to those who can help.

Now Playing Playlist

Hi,
maybe this has been asked many times before, but is there an "Now Playing Playlist" possibility in iTunes ?
I know you can add song to a playlist and this plays from song 1 until song x, but id rather would have a possibilty to personally (and not automatically) add songs "as I go along" (Something like being your own DJ)
After playing a song, that song should be deleted from the playlist so that (when there is no song left in that playlist) it should automatically stop (because the playlist is empty ).
Hopefully this makes some sense to someone.
Thanks in advance

Itunes DJ comes close, but it's not really what I am after. But maybe Apple could see this as a Feature Request (but I doubt it)

I've installed firmware for my zen micro, now i can't use my creative software! Please he

I wanted to download some music from napster and to play it on my player it told me I needed a firmware upgrade. I knew from buying my player that I probably would need to upgrade so I did. Once I installed the upgrade, and plugged my zen micro in and now it will only let me use windows media player? to transfer my music to my player. I hate this software as it doesn't work brilliantly, I was really happy with the creative software, but now when I plug in my micro and open the creative software it won't recognise it. I've tried reinstalling the creative software but its made no difference. Also, a box keeps coming up with something called MTP what is this? Can anyone help me with this problem? I would really appreciate it!

MTP is microsoft's media transfer protocol. Essentially, your micro can now connect to WinXP SP2 computers with WMP0 without loading Creative drivers.
The new firmware you installed allows you to drag and drop files to your micro using windows explorer. In order to use any of Creative's software, you'll need to download and install updated versions from their website.

Can MP3s from the zen micro be played using an FM tuner like the ipod

where can we get an accessory like the ipod's wherein we can play music from the zen micro on a car stereo/home stereo using an FM tuner wherein the micro itself will work like a remote control? thanks a lot.

Anywhere. Belkin makes the Tunecast FM tuner -- just make sure to get the TunecastII with the LCD selector.

Zen Micro only plays mo

i've recently bought a Zen micro and relised that it only plays music through one ear phone.
is this supposed the be like that, or is there a way to change it.

A SMALL amount? Of the 3 persons i know who have a Zen Micro, all 3 have got the headphone jack problem. I have even had it on my second player (after RMA!). Also look at all the posts on the forum. Cant be a small amount, see?

Weird... this does not happen to mine..... maybe you should try reloading the firmware.... if not might be a player with your player and you should call support.

Zen Micro Shuffle Play prob

Hello all,
I have mentioned this problem before, but I never got a definite answer. I noticed that when I put my player at shuffle play, I noticed that some tracks repeat. Now, this won't happen if your playlist is small (say 0 tracks). But if your playlist is bigger it will repeat. The play list size that I'm noticing this problem was around 25 tracks and up. Even shuffling songs of the entire player has the same problem. This is not the shuffle repeat option. Just the shuffle option.
Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? It's kind of annoying.

noroom wrote:
So, what you're saying is that shuffle creates a new "virtual" playlist, with the songs you selected in random order. This resulting in a song never being played twisce.
While random chooses the next song randomly, which could (theoretically) result in the same song being chosen 4 times in a row.
Did I get it right?
Yep, kinda. I'm not sure I like the use of the word playlist as this could cause further confusion, it essentially just remembers what tracks were played but there is a limit to that memory and I've never seen a definiti've number for what that is and whether it varies by player.

Serious design Flaw on Zen Micro -now headphone ja

Ok...now im new in the old headphone jack problem..im sending it for replacement. Sad....i hope the new one breaks before the warranty ends, so i can at least enjoy the Zen for one year...then ill switch to Ipod.
This little thing sounds great, but creative must get new engineers....this flaw happens in almost every zen!....

I moved this to it's own thread as it wasn't related to the one you posted in (at all).

Zen Micro Keeps Playing even when off

click the keyframe that contains your audio (to select the audio)>in the properties panel change the sync property to 'stream'. retest.

Zen Micro random play

...it ain't that random really is it! I quite often get tracks from the same artist playing consecuti'vely, and occasionally the same tracks pretty close to each other.
Any chance we could have a little more random in the next firmware release please?

One workaround for this is to create a playlist and use Notmad's randomise feature to mix it up a little.
Unfortunately the players haven't been that random as far back as the Nomad Jukebox , so I wouldn't hold your breath for an update on this...

I dropped my zen micro; now wh

I was clumsy the other day and dropped it; not hard, but apparently just hard enough to make it not start properly anymore. I think the hard dri've must be damaged. When I turn it on it goes to a screen that has the creative logo on it, and it just sits there forever and ever. The touchpad doesn't respond (no clicks or anything), and the only way I can turn it off is to take out the battery. Putting the battery back in turns it back on and it goes to the creative logo again until the battery runs out.
I tried rescue mode, nothing worked. Disk cleanup just had it say "Scan Disk" until the battery ran out, nothing happened. Format All just had it say "formatting" until the battery ran out, nothing happened. Rebooting just brought it back to the creative logo. I didn't try the third option, since I don't have internet access on my home computer at the moment (meaning I can't download the latest firmware, either) and I didn't want to risk screwing things up further (if that matters right now).
So I guess my question is, since this probably isn't covered by the warranty (it doesn't cover "accidents" or as far as I can tell, anything else that might cause an mp3 player to need repairs), what options do I have? Can I send it in to get it repaired for a fee? Or am I completely out of luck? Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks.

Bobd,
Creative does do out of warranty repairs/replacements for the cost of the part being repaired. So if it is the Hard Dri've being replaced, then we can repair it for what it costs to replace the hard dri've (most companies would charge you the total price for a replacement player). Contact support if this is what you decide to do and they can issue an RMA for you.

Zen Micro - "BACK" button sensitivity iss

My Micro has functioned flawlessly except for one thing: the "back" button doesn't seem as responsi've to touch as the other "buttons". Sometimes I need to tap it three or four times to get it to function properly. On occasion, I actually have to press the thing down as if it were a button on a remote control. I have seen mention of similar issues from users in other posts, but didn't see a dedicated thread. Anyone else having this sort of thing go on with their player?

I thought I was going nuts when I kept on pressing the back button and nothing was happening. It just started happening to me for the past couple of days (had it about two weeks w/o problems. I've upgraded to the latest firmware, but I also notice that I need to plug in the headphones and wait about 0 seconds and this cures it most of the time. Not sure why, but if it gets worse I'll contact Creative as well.

4 day-old Zen Micro now gives "Hardware Problem" Scre

Worked perfectly for first 2 days. Then yesterday it started freezing when I tried to shut it down. Today after I took the battery out it said "Hardware Problem" and won't allow me to do anything else (or go into the repair screen). I guess I have to return it.

Thanks for the info. I have to hand it to Amazon: I went online this morning to Amazon.com and clicked to submit my claim for a replacement. In the comments area I said that if they could send me out a new one one-day service I would take it, otherwise I just wanted a refund. I already got the notification that a new one was sent one-day mail, with no charges at all (shipping or otherwise). The link had a UPS label to put on my old box so I can ship it back for free. That's great service to me! Actually more convenient than if I had bought it from a store!
